CRUSTED ROAST RUMP STEAK WITH CRISPY SPECKLED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Begin by putting the onion rings into soak for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Cut the onion into 1cm wide slices and separate the rings.
• Pour over the milk and set aside, turning the onion rings occasionally.
• Take the steaks out of the fridge and leave at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C.
• Break the bread into pieces and blitz in a food processor to form rough breadcrumbs.
• Remove and set aside.
• Then, place the capers, sun dried and fresh tomatoes, the oil, basil and some salt and pepper in the food processor and blitz until pulped.
• Add the breadcrumbs and blitz once more until evenly mixed.
• Place the steaks on lightly oiled baking sheet and spoon over the tomato crumb mixture.
• Cook in the oven for 10 minutes until the steaks are browned but still a little pink in the middle.
• Meanwhile, heat 5cm of oil in a deep frying pan.
• Mix together the flour, chives and some salt and pepper.
• Drain the onion rings, dust in the flour, shaking of any excess, then fry in batches for 2-3 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
• Drain on kitchen paper.
• Transfer the steaks to 4 warm serving plates and allow to rest for a few minutes.
• Pile the speckled onion rings on the side, garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve.
